Day number 47 of constant rain all over the globe and experts are now saying it may never

Here at WLN News we're wondering, What If It Never Stopped Raining?”

Here on this Blocky Planet, it's been pouring for over a month and it's wreaking havoc

Schools and hospitals are flooded, entire cities are without power and we can't get

Wait animator...don't you control the weather here?

But besides the obvious, what are the other implications of this never-ending rain?

These massive downpours will have detrimental effects on plants, crops and trees all over

The destruction of these plants impacts everything from food supplies to the amount of oxygen

As you know, plants absorb CO2 and convert it to breathable oxygen through a process

About 30% of our oxygen comes from terrestrial plants.

But when the soil is soaked to the point of no return and sunlight is continuously blocked

by clouds, plants can't get the nutrients they need to photosynthesize.

This will kill the plants and leave more CO2 and less oxygen in the atmosphere.

Aaand, without sunlight, the phytoplankton in the sea that currently provides over 50%

Many crops and livestock can't handle extreme rain, so the amount of food we can produce

I have a feeling this means we'll be eating a lottt of rice since it grows in fields of

Well, actually, we probably want to avoid fish since extreme downpours like this flood

pollutants into lakes, rivers and local water supplies.

These pollutants can range from sewage to heavy metals and they harm marine life and

This contamination can cause some pretty serious health issues.

Dirty water can lead to hepatitis A, cholera and typhoid fever.

Plus, instances of malaria, dengue and yellow fever all increase with floods and influxes

And don't forget about all the mold that's undoubtedly growing in all the flooded homes!

Torrential downpours like this cause horrendous, deadly landslides all over the world.

Landslides come in the form of rockfalls, mudslides and basically any other form of

These can block roads, affect communication, and take down power lines.

And these are just the effects of normal landslides.

Who knows how bad they'll be if it literally never stops raining?

But the natural disasters don't end there.

It's been found that rain-induced erosion can loosen underground rocks along fault lines,

Now, this may just be a hypothetical situation but global warming is worsening

rainfall extremes and shifting weather patterns.

We all need to make changes in our everyday lives to combat global warming and help ward

I don't about you but I would much rather bask in the sun.

Let us know what we should talk about next in the comment section below

Curious to know what would happen if the earth ran out of food and water?

So much of the ground water we use is lost to evaporation, or ends up in the oceans

and that's leaving billions of people without clean water.
